Hello enifis

Sorry, there is no way to import or export the portfolio items or properties.

Best regards

Hi there!

Thanks for contacting us.
If you are using SP page builder integration for SP Simple Portfolio, then you can import/export, but this will let you have that part you used SPPB to build I mean description only. Not the parts you built with sp simple portfolio.

Here is screenshots:

Thats all you can do with this.

Best Regards

Thanks for your answers.

I've found the solution:

  1. Export even one record/row from table 'spsimpleportfolio_items' to file.csv
  2. Edit file.csv and put there records/rows with informations about your portfolio items
  3. Remember to give to the first record the next increment id (check what is the id of your last portfolio item)
  4. Save and log in to database, enter to table 'spsimpleportfolio_items' and import your file.csv with your items
  5. Next remember to Generate spsimpleportfolio thumbnails (GLobal settings/spsimpleportfolio)

IMPORTANT
I have noticed that image files must have file extension write with lowercase.

I ran into another problem:

I've imported many items. They are all ok, but when I execute thumbnails generating i receive:
"Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded"

Is it possible to run the reset function resetThumbs() to bypass the "Maximum execution time" limit?

SOLUTION

  1. Create or edit .htaccess file.
  2. Put into the file:
    php_value max_execution_time xx

where xx stands for the new value of a parameter.
